THANK YOU for leveling the volume- no eardrum blasting! Interesting and informative videos you are posting up. Professionalism shows. Keep up the great work!
This video took a Long Time to Edit & its still not perfect, but I hope you enjoy it! Smash the Like Button 👍
Brother you hit this one out of the park! I asked you for more details on the drilling and setting the casing, you answered my question, I suggested you do a video like this and here we are! Very nice. So I am in Highlands NC about 4 hours away from you and currently have an existing circa 1965 ish community well that needs fracking. It had a 5 hp 25 gal/min setup but now is only producing 1.5 gal/min and we have a 1 hp setup working so it doesn't keep running dry. This is pumped into a 5000 gallon cistern and gravity fed to the community from there. Let's make a long story short I was considering calling you to help us out up here but you mentioned previously in other videos that you don't like to travel. Besides the fracking for the community well I have three other wells that need to be drilled in the same community and have two out of the three permits so far in hand. One of which is to be a replacement backup plan for the community well that's not producing. Everybody in these parts are covered up with work so I'm looking elsewhere to get done what needs to be done. Hopefully we can work togethe. I'd love to have you come to Highlands and take care of business. let me know thanks
I didn't understand why you drilled, then set a plastic pipe and then again drilled through it
@za_ozero the Pipe keeps the Dirt & rain water out of the well. Then we drill inside the pipe & look for fresh water in the rock.
I have zero to do with wells, but I've found your videos very interesting, particularly this one, where you give lots of details (good or bad for the hole). I see guys who know what they're doing. Keep 'em comin'!
P.S. Only complaint is, when talking to the viewers, look directly into the camera lens. It looks like your eyes are looking to the side😳😉
G'day from Aus, I wasn't planning on watching the whole lot but each step seemed important enough, good work
Hell yea man. Growing organically. Your growth is amazing. NO bought subs, no bs. Just people who want to watch you as a creator. Thats something to be proud of. Your dad should be proud man.
Thanks Keith! Dad enjoys reading the comment sections of the videos, that really changed his perspective on making videos, it's the people's comments that are Always uplifting. Very few are negative
@@h2omechanic heck yea man. I wish my dad could have taught me his trade (diesel injection - hit me if you need anything that area). You have the dream job.
Great video! Drilled many wells, and cored thousands of feet of rock in another life. Brings back many memories! Love how you narrate whats going on so people can understand.
Dude you are a true professional, most drillers would short the customer and not go the extra depth for better water flow.
You are right
Your team is like a well oiled machine. Everybody knows their job. Like your videos.
My dad was a water well driller. He had rotary tool and cable tool rigs. This takes me back. Great job! He always said that water well drilling is the only job you start at the top.
I love your videos! I had a well drilled years ago but didn’t have the money to have them install the pump and run the plumping. After watching your videos I have decided to do it myself! I love your attention to detail and doing the job right the first time! Thanks for being an awesome person and caring about others!
Just make sure you watch all of his videos. The important factor is how deep your well is. If it is over 350’ deep you can’t use rolled tubing. You will need to install pipe with a Crain. He also has said that the common rolled tubing is only rated to 250’. You can buy special tubing that goes deeper.
I have watched nearly everyone of his videos! Fortunately mine is only 240ft so I’ll be using 200psi poly. Thanks!
@@davidskabelund4298damn...that's deep as shit dude 😲
Last house I bought in AZ well was 620 ft.
@@tdc9136 holy shit 😳😲 did they hit lava 🔥???
H, by the way, excellent video. Brings back memories of watching the well being drilled where I grew up. In my 60's now...an old man😊.
Been in construction since the late 80s and was always the most fascinated with the well drillers. Sure learned a lot by watching and asking questions. Amazed how it all works and its some definite talent! Love watching the video and kudos to you for making them! Luckily I live in a place where shallow wells are easy and we have a high water table. Over the last couple years I've managed to install a few shallow wells with a little help. Water for days!
This has to be the best video presentation yet. Thank you so much for showing the whole process. I wouldn't mind a little more detail on the different sizes and their purposes but this one filled in a lot of gaps that I have had questions about. Thanks again for sharing this with the world. You're awesome.
We had to have a new well on the farm and my dad knew a water Witcher. He came and I just didn’t believe in it but he picked two places and they hit water at 46 feet.
Good job boys, enjoys your hard work with them wells and repairs.
I totally enjoy your videos,how do you decide where to locate where you drill and know that there is water there??
Great video! Enjoyed watching the whole process. More of this, please!
Great video! You're a very good commentator as well.
Thank you
I’ve been watching you on and off for the last 10 hrs !!!
I love your work ethic and integrity !!
Where are you located ??
Absolutely love these complete videos especially the explanation of the different rock at levels and what your looking for great video thank you
In some way I see why wells cost what they do. A lot of time and labor, equipment and knowledge. Thanks for the video, Hopefully when my well in western Massachusetts needs work I find someone as good as you.
This is very timely... I'm in the market for a well in Hill County, Texas. Although I get the basics of water well drilling, I've never done it. And I'm told that our Aquifer is up to 1500' down. Sounds expensive. Anybody here ever done a well in the Waco Area? Curious. But I will be watching more videos here. Thanks for all you do.
Can look up Well data in you’re area here www3.twdb.texas.gov/apps/WaterDataInteractive/GroundwaterDataViewer/?map=sdr
I never knew digging holes was so interesting. Thanks.
Excellent work ! The girls in the back look they are wanting daddy to get home so they can have supper.
Interesting how different the drilling process is in various parts of the country.
it is true...👌
What do you mean by difference processes; isn't it the same all over the country?
What state was this filmed in?
Great informative video. Thanks for your content.
Liked and subscribed.
That was a great video. It left me wanting to know more about drilling. Fascinating. Hope you do more like that. I’ll be watching. :)
I find a lot of your videos so educational and this one doesn’t disappoint. I’m very interested in every aspect of the drilling and well systems. I’ve been waiting for over a year to have a well drilled on my property but where I live there’s very few that are in the business. Thanks for the videos!
First time. See you video
I loved. Good job sr 👍
I wish I could afford to have you drill a well for me! I have to haul water in the dry season. I have been told we're setting on a huge underground lake about 185 feet down!
Never quite understood the drilling process but loving every minute of watching you !!
I’m getting ready to most likely replace my pressure tank….thats how I stumbled on to your site !!
Many say to put a check valve just prior to tank…..some say don’t.
What do you say ??
When they installed mine….they put a pvc check valve “after” the tank and just prior to house entry 🤔🤔🤔🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Awesome video for drilling a water well. I haven't seen all of your videos maybe the last year or 2 but this video really makes sense to me...
A very good overview of water well drilling. I learned a lot from your video. Thanks for sharing!
Should have ran it in with the blow out blanket off. We could have seen better and you wouldn't have been so hot. LOL. Nice job
Extremely professional. Lovely job.
My well pump is 550 feet deep ♥️
Love from India ❤
Thank you sir for sharing with us I appreciate all this information, It was very interesting thank you God bless you have a blessed day.
Enjoyed the video even though I didn't understand every step of the process. I will probably watch it again later.
Great video.
Nice job guys. Good attention to detail and great results!
This video has to be the best overall well drilling process explained I have ever seen. I am fascinated with how this all works and how it provides me with the best drinking water I've ever had. Unfortunately my well cost me almost 25K but they had to go 650' deep and then it needed to be fracked but now I have about a 15gpm well and lots of capacity so I don't ever foresee us running out of water.
كلما حفرت أكثر تحصل على الماء أكثر .إن شاءالله لاينفذ ولا ينقطع مائك
Great video. I love watching you drill a well it is very interesting, keep up the good work
I wish I could have a well dug but unfortunately there’s several old strip coal mines within a few miles of my house and they made two huge pits they filled with coal ash so it’s a 50/50 chance the water isn’t safe to drink and I don’t want to put money into something that might be useless great video thanks for sharing
Nice job well done guys that is what you call 💪 a gusher
I love your video.. You are an awesome person and you do quality work. Looking forward to next video.
Another great video, hope you show more of how to hold the rods when you add or remove additional ones. Thanks
WoW that's a huge machine
Great video I really enjoyed it. I could watch well drilling every day❤
What was the static water level, and does your state have a rule on chlorinating a new well? Great job! This old Plumber would hire you for a well.
Love how these guys work as a team
A question, where you’re at, what is the permitting requirements and process? Everywhere I’ve been, the county required a permit, and they required a pre-inspection of the site to insure proper distances from septic, adjacent properties, other wells, etc. The inspector would then stake the allowed location. After completion, it would need to be re-inspected for location, depth, water level, flow rate, pump😊 depth, and water quality. Do you have these types of “rules” ?
Thanks
Great Video - Well done - very informative. Keep 'em comin' !!
Thanks for the information. It really helped me understand the process
Can you do a video that explains all the details of the drilling process. Air hammer, Over reaming, grout, casing, how long does a bit last, why was it jumping when you were drilling through rock, how long is each drill pipe.
That would be a 2 hour long video lol. Over time I'll cover different topics in regards to your request.
Read the subtitles in this video. It answers some of your question.
Well Apréciate, thank you for the video thanks to everyone involved
I need a drill crew like this where I live.
Great video we’re having a water well drilled on our property now, very informative video 👍🏽
Awesome.
Nice Video made me think back I was working on a drilling rig through out the 60’s
Absolutley Fascinating! Thank you!
Enjoyed the video. I watched the guys drill mine. Nail biting nerves waiting to see if we hit. You guys work hard. Keep it up!
Awesome video I learned a lot thank you
What a great video. I worked in Arizona in airplanes, temp was 120, people passed out, just dropping to their knees.
I once worked at a McDonalds, it was hot sometimes
@@markusr1308 fry station, grill, or just regular heat?
You gave me a laugh
Yeah buddy I enjoyed this video. I'm looking to drill a well in middle Tennessee very soon.
That was so interesting. Thanks guys.
Really interesting. Keep safe. Many thanks.
interesting to watch and see how differently you guys do it
Very cool!
I'll tell ya what... that was absolutely fascinating to watch. Had no idea how it was done nor did I understand what an "art" It Is to drill for water... It fascinates me to know that there is water below us. Wish I had a cut out of the earth to be able to put it in perspective. Great job men, now have a Beer...
Cool video, thanks for sharing. Get u guys some respirators!!! Your health is important. 👍
Really interesting!
My mom and dad and my grandparents both had wells drilled in southern Oklahoma. They used what they called a spudder rig. Both wells went just over one hundred feet. The wells were only used for lawn watering b

Thanks for sharing. It's looks like your about to strike oil. LOL
Well done guys.💪💪👍👍👏👏💯💯❤❤
Very nice video and nice add-ons for the controls.
I have had 4 wells punched over the years for homes I built, I have some idea about it, but this video was very informative. Thanks, great job!
I will say, I am in the Northeast, Maine. Things are a little different up here.
Reminds me when my well was drilled. They went to 550 ft A 4 wire 5 hp pump and Franklin box.
I enjoyed watching this so thanks for sharing.
that did appear to be a great source of water !
great video. need a well drilled in Texas but will have to wait.
Cool video, I’ve seen these rigs at a distance but have never been up close when they are drilling.
Nice job of drilling even though you got the wrong rig lol. I'm retired but I spent many years on the older style rigs cable tools was a 3rd generation driller work both in oilfield and did some water on the side. Gotta love those old spudders
Great video 👍👍👍
Good day I finished one at 227 and I got to watch you finish one. Lol
I wonder how many times when you're drilling for water you hit something unexpected instead like oil or natural gas or something 🤔🤔🤔
Really, really enjoyed this video! we will be drilling a well next summer. Tons of boulders and ledge rock here in NE MN. Like your can do attitude. Very informative. Subscribed and happy I did.
I BELIEVE
Excellent Job! Congratulations!
nice to see youre dogs
Wish i was rich cuz I'm trying to get one of these dug. At least now i appreciate why it's such an expensive job. Thumbs up & wish me luck on my well drilling endeavor.
Awsome 🏆
i realy admire your way of working (and your father's). very well organised. goor for your materials. good for the knowledge of de undergroud. very good work. good for your helpers. (and, i saw
some drilling here from other people).
Good video 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks, I didn't realize you drill though the casing. I thought that you drilled the whole well then put the casing in.
Different ways. There is another video on YT showing what you describe and that's how it's done here. With steel casing, at the end.
Luv it I work with Longyear in the Simpson desert diamond drilling looking for euraniam found heap water I driving water truck good job
You seem like a great person. I got a rough price for a 500 foot well in Northeast Tennessee for about $20,000. What I might do is create a pond and pump water out of that up 200 feet to the house. Lake should exist there all ready as it has an outfall 10' higher. Maybe buy some of your parts. (Lone Mountain Shores)
I remember how excited my drillers were when they hit 50+ gallons per minute at 200-210' on my well. So much water was flowing that it was coming out clear.
Shalom Shalom! What was the cost per foot to drill, and what part of the country/state was the work conducted? Todah (Thanks) for your answer in advance!
Always Above Ground,
Me1BzMan
@@me1bzman145 Seems like around $20.00/foot to drill, but that was many years ago. Drilling was only half the cost and total cost was around $12,000.00
Before buying our property we sent in for a well report for the area from the Ontario government. Cost us $20.00 for the report. The 50 acres we wanted had an aquifer of around 80 feet. And we hit water at around 65 feet.
vary vary interesting
ran a similar setup .. old north span drill RC -cyclone for exploration self-contained to 500' if we could maintain pressure ..I think Pat Moody Kelowna BC built it .. last time I used it was in DRC Africa
You guys work like a well oiled machine, not a wasted motion, obviously not your first rodeo :-).
I tell my guys it's rhythm that you have to learn, then it gets easier.
